About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily: ‘Why is there always a package for someone named “John Doe” here?’ Since then, everyone jokes that The UPS Store must be delivering packages to someone who doesn’t exist. Then one day, a regular customer joked back: ‘Hey, maybe John Doe’s just really good at returning stuff!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned John Doe, they’d smile and say, “He sure does shop a lot!”
2. A customer complained loudly one day: ‘Why does everyone sign for packages here when they clearly don’t want them?’ A gruff delivery driver overheard the complaint and leaned against the counter, smiling wryly. 'Ma’am,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'we sign for everything because that’s how we know you’re actually home!' The whole place burst into laughter, including the poor customer who had just wanted her privacy.
3. One afternoon, a frustrated neighbor yelled out: ‘Who keeps leaving boxes on my porch?’ A regular passing by overheard the commotion and stopped to help. It turned out that every box was addressed to someone named Mr. Porch, who apparently lived down the street. The neighbor laughed it off, realizing his mistake had been rectified, while the kind stranger offered to drop off any future packages for him. That’s the thing about small towns—sometimes you deliver mail, sometimes you get delivered to.
4. At dawn, a delivery driver scanned the parking lot with growing curiosity. Why did every box in The UPS Store seem to carry a mysterious note: 'For the person who left it last night'? Curious, he opened one envelope and found inside a handwritten note: ‘Please deliver this package to yourself.’ Turns out, a regular had accidentally sent his own mail back to him. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and delivered the packages—each addressed to the same mysterious person—to their rightful owners.
